New report claims that software development is being affected by a number of data-related issues. Yeah, that last bug was entirely the data's fault. Honest.

Why, yes it is.
This afternoon I was working on a Regular Expression to split a DNS name and suddenly up jumped an entry like:
111.222.333.444/xxx.yyy.zzz:555

And the article is actually about test data. Yeah, knowing how the data are likely to look like is quite an advantage when writing software, I guess.

I blame my parents for all my defects.
For some reason, that made sense to me for a brief moment.

Mats Järlström was fined $500 by the state of Oregon for writing 'I am an engineer' in an email to the government. Bad news for domestic and sanitation engineers in Oregon

His lawyer ought to argue that he didn't say "a state-licenced engineer".
The state lawyers don't understand laws.

I don't know about Oregons laws specifically; but in some states the baseline engineer title is restricted to certified/professional engineers; and that anyone else who has an engineering degree has to use something from a proscribed set of lesser titles that (to anyone who knows the minutia of the local law anyway) indicate that they don't have the same level of certification and aren't permitted to be the lead on major industrial/civil engineering projects. More relaxed jurisdictions (AFAIK most of the US) do work the way you're suggesting with a specific title for certified people and a free for all otherwise.

In most states, one has to pass the Professional Engineer's exam to be able to append P.E. to one's name.

I want to see the specific statute that he violated. Is there a copy of the fine document posted somewhere online? This is fascinating. I want to know the specific law they allege he violated.

Congrats on the promotion.
Here you go[^]. Seems to me there is a pretty hefty distinction between "I am an engineer", and "no person shall practice or offer to practice engineering".

Wow. OK, so this little snots are going to try and equate "practicing engineering" with sending an email. OK.
They need to be sued into the next century.
I almost wish this happened to me. I would make an example of these idiots.

So, technically, if I stack my dishes in the dishwasher, in Oregon, I'm committing a crime if I don't have a certificate attesting that I'm a "professional engineer".
Really, almost anything can be considered "engineering". The hell with suing, take this to the supreme court.
Funny thing is, I was just listening to a stand-up comedian this morning just tearing up Portland for being such idiots. I've never been to Oregon, and I guess I never will now.

Google says it will stop supporting Portable Native Client in the first quarter of 2018, with some exceptions, because WebAssembly has become more popular. "Google cancels product" is the new "dog bites man"

Mainstream platforms supporting it are here, but the tool chains to let you work in a wide variety of sane languages and build to web-asm aren't. And until webasm is available in all major browsers (probably never for IE11); any production level toolchain also needs to be able to compile into javascript as well.
